  1. The truth, he is always nearby, nowhere can you hide from his all-seeing eye, whatever you do, he is there to see it, wherever you go, wherever you sit, he is always beside you, watching expressionless, he creeps up behind you and leaves you defenseless, for as much as you may want to keep him silent, he always has a way of revealing himself, and with killing intent he will strike down whatever was hidden, expose the facts of the matter, for you it will be a disaster but it is inevitable no matter how hard you try, there is nowhere to go, from his all-seeing eye... Truth angers many, he cares not for there feelings, they curse him and call him fake, but there lives he will take, he will crush, he will twist, there heart in his fist, till all there secrets spill out on the floor, exposed is there weakness, the life they knew is no more, for all has been splayed out for the masses, all eyes are on them, there life a pile of smoldering ashes, once looked at as a gem, now looked at as dirt... Truth is not selective, he is not bias, he simply sees what is there and lays it out bare what you think of him does not matter, he will come for you as for any other, beware of your lies, your secrets, your sins, for in the end, it will not matter how hard you tried to keep them hidden away, exposing them for him, is mere child's play, truth WILL find a way.

  3. Not trying to intentionally but I'll "One up You" on this: Worked for a guy (My boss) who happened to catch a break conversation I was having with a coworker. Think we were discussing "Mortal Kombat" but don't quote me on that since I already did......but she happened to be a woman (and yeah that's kind of dating us both). Ironically his opinion on the whole conversation, and mind you it was a A-B conversation, was that video games were the (And yes this is a literal quote) "Devils work and did nothing but rot your brains and stain your soul." Soon after both of us were terminated on the grounds of "Low Sales Quotas" (Again a direct quote), but we both knew it was because from the point he heard our conversation about video games and his view on them. Anyway, to round this out, most of the people I knew that were into video games were female. I'd almost say more than 60% were, so bad stereotyping people, don't do it!...sigh. I think you're right that the stigma is firmly resident in people's minds and that they refuse to challenge that. For me anime is another form of art. I love the works of the great masters and appreciate what their visions were, and at the same time feel the same way about anime. If more people would openly see it as a form of artwork and expression I think that it would force a change making it recognized as such.

  4. Watching teletubbies is better than Death Note. Thanks though, good to hear that it didn't let the anime down. I'm really looking forward to this. That's what Hollywood does. They take an idea make it into their own image, which is basically a cheap knockoff the original, make it for the people that have no idea that it's an anime, and generate a vast amount of money. Not caring about what made the story so good just seeing the dollar signs at the end of the rainbow. That's more annoying then anything. That we have no say in how we want our favorite shows to be portrayed, we just have to deal with whatever we get. Which sucks beyond imagining.

  5. It’s about ignorance first. People think anime is either for children or “pervs who watch hentai”.and there is nothing in between. Those people never really tried to explore and watch anime to see what is all about, but their opinion is formed based on stereotypes and rumours rather than their own decision. Remember the time when people who used to listen to Punk music were all labelled as delinquents and scum?

  6. What it really comes down to, is that people haven't gotten over the stigma's they believed as a child. It's kind of sad really. We've grown and matured so much this generation, even if the youngest generation may not have as much, and changed our perspective on so many things, and yet for some reason anime is not something that has gone through this change. Perhaps that's one of the reasons it hasn't really changed at all is so long outside of visuals, because the stigma hasn't and people seem unwilling to open their eyes to the medium. It could also be that because the world has changed so much and people seen more reluctant than ever to admit that perhaps their emotional reactions to something may not be what actually is, and they don't like being questioned, even though they can't avoid it, that anime has just become one of those things that people can get mad at to let loose some frustrations from their daily lives on. The point I'm making overall I guess, is that beyond the stigma, there's a slue of reasons that people still look down upon anime for.

  7. When In school people always thought that was a really lame and nerdy thing to get into and like. Some thought it was hentai at times and others thought it was stupid and no point of having it, I guess It depends on the person. I don't see any harm in liking anime and getting into it. It's for all ages I think and anyone can enjoy them.

  9. hello my name is militaria collector and I'm 17 and from Coventry in the uk. I am in college doing performing arts and I'm enjoying it. I collect militaria (military items) and have done so for nearly 2 years. If you have questions about military uniforms don't be afraid to ask me. I got into anime around April this year and have enjoyed it. I have watched some good anime like great teacher onizuka, prison school and even black bullet.
